One of the reasons why the series is so popular,- Realism. The guys from AMC did their best. Everything is done at the highest level. That only there are zombies. Thanks to the incomparable make-up work, the dead look very realistic and creepy.
The plot is another tortoise on whichthis series is held. "Walking dead" show the audience the lives of people after the zombie apocalypse, the decline of the human race.

Well, where without the actors.In the series, in fact, a star caste. Andrew Lincoln, Stephen Young, Chandler Riggs - they all play just great, and their characters really sympathize. Special attention should be given to Norman Ridus (on the plot of the series - Daryl Dixon). Do you want to know more about it? Then read this article.
The character of Norman Ridus appears in the firstseason. Daryl Dixon (photo can be seen above) is one of the survivors who joined Shane's group. He is asocial, has a rather tough temper. Despite this, the other members of the group are tolerant of Daryl. After all, he has unique skills and brings a lot of benefits. For example, Daryl Dixon is an excellent hunter, so the group will never be left without food. In addition, the character of Norman Ridus is merciless in the fight against zombies. Initially, Daryl Dixon is in the shadow of his brother Marl. This largely prevents him from building relationships in the group. However, after the disappearance of Marel, Daryl's alienation begins to weaken. He joins the group and eventually becomes Rick's right hand.
As mentioned above, Daryl plays an actor onnamed after Norman Ridus. He can be known to the general public by roles in such cult films as "Gangster", "Saints from the Bundok", "Antibodies" and "Cadillac Records". His acting career Ridus began back in 1997.

When Ridus came to the test, he wanted to playMarla. However, the actor was denied, because the role was already taken. But Norman Ridus fell in love with the producers of the series (in particular, Frank Darabont). It is for this reason that a new character named Daryl Dixon was written for Ridus, which simply did not exist in the original comic book. Fortunately, the idea of the producers fully justified itself. Indeed, at the moment, Daryl Dixon - in the series almost the most adorable character, which in its popularity can compete with the main character of teleadaptation - Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). Why is this character so popular with TV viewers? The answer is quite simple. Norman Ridus is quite charismatic. In addition, he has a pleasant appearance. It is for this reason that he likes the target audience, which is mostly made up of girls.
However, a pretty muzzle is not enough,to get a whole army of fans. Another reason Daryl Dixon is so popular is interesting and often amusing remarks that regularly supplement the fund of gold quotes. You can see them by watching the series.
